Which of the following brands of booze is named for a famed clipper ship known for its frequent runs to China from London to bring tea back from the orient?
Answer Cutty Sark whiskey
The Cutty Sark was the one of the last of a great tradition of using clippers in the tea trade, soon to be replaced by steamers. She was known for her famous race against Thermopylae in 1872, the two ships leaving Shanghai together on June 18th of that year; the Cutty Sark lost the race by a week. She sailed in eight "tea seasons" in total.
